I know that Doax has been playing with a setup that adds hydrogen gas to the fuel mix.

Not sure how far he has gotten with it yet.

I am also interested in using some sort of a similar system, but want to trade-in for a small manual transmission car first, and work on getting better economy with the simiple things first.

After that, I don't see why a Festiva couldn't get 100mpg with such a system.

Would be great to get some more accurate gas vs. hydro economy numbers. Maybe just running a full tank on gas and a full tank on the hydrogen mix and see how many miles you can go.
